I got 2 full boxes of comics from 1992-93.
Think they are worth anything...I remember just buying number 1's that came out those years. Then magic the gathering caught my attention and stopped collecting.

...Nothing at all, post them all to me. But seriously, do some searches on any notable 1st issues you have or collectible covers or the like. I used to collect comics from around that time for $15 per $5 comic about a decade ago.
yeah I'd have to go thru them all. I have some weird ones that are signed by artists and stuff and alt covers. I only read some of them because i didn't want to touch them and ruin them. Currently they are being used to hold up my brothers computer case because his hdmi cord isn't long enough to reach his case from his monitor.
To be honest, I was collecting comics at that time too. During that period, early ninties, there were so many number 1's coming out all with variant covers, sketch covers, alternative covers, fold-out covers etc. Also that time a lot of more "independent" comic companies started. Image, Valiant, etc...You would really have to look into each comic. If it is worth anything valuable, you sould use the CGI company to get it graded. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the info dude. Much appreciated.
Not a lot. anything after around 1984-1985 is pretty much only worth cover price. There may be a few exceptions in the bunch but most comic shops wont deal with regular issues because they probably get 5 people a week with similar boxes.
Pretty much. That time period was rampant with an over saturation of comic gimmicks that it is mostly worthless. You would probably have better luck just selling the whole thing together on ebay or something then selling any individual issues.
Condition is going to be the factor in what they are worth if you plan on selling them.

That was during the time when comic publishers figured out that old comics had gotten very valuable, so a ton of comics where relaunched as #1 and gimmicky shit like hologram covers to inflate their value. What they failed to realize is that the old comics were so valuable because they had gotten so rare. The new ones had a lot of prints and ended up pretty being pretty worthless.
Ah, the 90's were horrible for (mainstream, superhero) comics. From Rob Liefeld's ugly art to Todd McFarlane and Erik Larsen imagining any artist can just start writing comics themselves.
I don't hate you. I'm just not necessarily excited about your existence.
The art wasn't the worst part (nowadays we have people like Greg Land tracing women from porn stills). It was the constant barrage of "shocker" story arcs that got so out of hand they completely lost their effect. When you have executives and marketing take over the creative direction, you get abominations like drawing out the Spider-Man clone stuff over several years with countless pivotal "must-have" issues that people just got sick off.
